Consenting adults review by Relationship Enrichment Systems

Consenting Adults is definitely one of the best sexual games I have played. It is well-thought out and an actual GAME, not just a deck of “draw a card and do what it says.”

The cards are divided by point value by 10’s, from “10” to “80.” As may be expected, the higher the point value of the card, the more risqué the tasks on it. Each card has four selections, ranging from “Kiss”, “Touch,” “Show,” “Tell,” and combinations thereof. Most of the suggestions are interesting and sexy, or thought-provoking. Many involve actions performed partially clothed; many involve actions performed naked. There are 200 activity cards in the deck with four possible actions each, so there is a wide range of suggestions to suit every taste. What really surprised me is that the deck actually has some activities I would NOT perform, such as circling your house or apartment in your underwear or making out with your partner outside for 2 minutes naked (ok, maybe in the dead of night!)—and I consider myself fairly sexually adventurous.

One thing I really like about Consenting Adults is that it makes consenting to an action or not an actual part of the game, and you can choose the time limit/point total to which to play. You keep cards as they are successfully performed. If you do not want to perform an act, or it is simply too much for you, you can opt not to perform it. However, not performing acts or answering questions costs you points, and you must surrender the point value of the drawn card in cards from your own hand. If you do not have enough points in your hand to cover the value of the card you wish to opt out of, you can discard your entire hand and remove one article of clothing. There are also random cards that just make you discard points. As I said, this game is more complex and well thought out than most adult games!

There is no artwork in the game to speak of, but it is still attractively designed and packaged with a red, white and black color scheme. Both the box and the cards appear sturdy.

My only complaint with Consenting Adults is the endgame. It is basically “choose what you want to do at the beginning of the game and the loser has to do it.” Rather “meh,” if you ask me.
